It was a compromise because it counted slaves as too much of a person, not too little. The northern states wanted slaves not counted at all. But you don’t want to mention that because it’s inconvenient.It has everything to do with the EC because slaves counted as a fraction of a person for the purpose of electoral votes, but they would have counted as zero people for a popular vote. It also helped states with otherwise restricted franchises. |
